Downtown grocer talk shifts back to old Borders site Town Talk

T

he idea of a downtown grocery store at the former Borders bookstore location is back in play. A leader with Lawrence’s Checkers grocery store has told me he’s now focusing his efforts on the former Borders building rather than a more aggressive proposal to build at 11th and Massachusetts streets.

In case you have forgot-

Caregiver guilty of murder

CORDLEY A MIX OF OLD AND NEW

——

Second-degree verdict carries penalty from 12 to 54 years in prison

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Jurors on Wednesday found a Eudora man guilty of second-degree murder in the 2014 death of his disabled home-care client.

Ronald Eugene Heskett, 49, was accused of twisting a towel around the neck of Vance “Van” Moulton, 65, on Sept. 12, 2014, and as- Heskett phyxiating him.

Jurors deliberated for more than four hours Wednesday after listening to closing arguments by the prosecution and defense.

Over the past week, prosecutors presented evidence to suggest that Heskett killed Moulton, who had cerebral palsy, for a financial motive, pointing to about $13,000 in cash from government refunds missing from Moulton’s apartment. They also looked at a series of expenditures Heskett made, shortly after the checks were cashed, on a 1972 Chevelle and numerous car parts.

The Lawrence Parade of Schools open house will be held 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at Langston Hughes, Cordley, Hillcrest, New York and Quail Run elementary schools. In addition, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Lawrence College and Career Center, 2910 Haskell Ave., 10 a.m. Saturday.

Editor’s note: This story is the fourth in a six-part series preceding Saturday’s public tour of the recently completed construction projects in the Lawrence school district.

Inside the addition to Cordley Elementary, 1837 Vermont St., 100-year-old red brick walls join walls of white sheetrock. In completing additions to the school, built in 1915, exterior walls of the original building were preserved by incorporating them into new construction, explained Lawrence schools Superintendent

Rick Doll.

“We wanted to maintain the feel of the old building,” Doll said, noting that the main entrance of the school has also been returned to the historic south entrance.

In the school’s office, the original wood floors — restained and

polished — also remain. What was before the north facade of the building, complete with white-trimmed, rectangular windows, stands as an interior wall facing the school’s expanded media center. The wall’s ground-level windows have been removed and

Superintendent Rick Doll points to family members of Frances Caudill, right, a special education resource teacher at Schwegler Elementary School, after she was honored Wednesday with a Lawrence Horizon Award.

The Douglas County food bank Just Food reached its goal Wednesday to raise the approximately $60,000 the nonprofit owes in unpaid taxes.

Kristi Henderson, president of Just Food’s board of directors, said the organization would pay its tax debt Henderson to the Internal Revenue Service and move on with normal operations.

The announcement comes a week before the Sept. 30 deadline the organization had set for itself to pay the tax debt, but nearly a month in advance of the Oct. 20 deadline set by the IRS. “At this point, we’re so glad to have the tax part taken care of,” Henderson said. “It

next door.) As we’ve previously reported, the Borders building is owned by a group led by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor. Those are the two leaders who want to build at the 11th and Massachusetts site as well.

But a representative for Treanor and Compton told me they’re open to now looking at the Borders site for a grocery store. That’s a significant piece of news.

“We would like to help downtown, and we think a grocery store would be fabulous for downtown,” said Bill Fleming, an attorney for Compton and Fleming.

Fleming, though, said the group is still doing some due diligence on the concept. It has hired a consultant to conduct a feasibility study to determine whether enough demand exists to support a grocery store in the downtown. He expects to have results from that study in two or three weeks.

“Nothing is set in stone yet,” Fleming said.

But it now does appear that efforts to get a downtown grocery store are going to be focused on the Borders site rather than the 11th and Massachusetts site.

J.R. Lewis, an owner of Checkers, said the 11th and Massachusetts site had some real appeal, but it just doesn’t appear to be workable for a grocery store.

“It didn’t seem to be what the community wanted, and it wasn’t feasible from a parking situation,” Lewis said.

“The location was a good one, but you couldn’t make the site work for a grocery store.”

Fleming said Compton and Treanor are still very interested in developing a project at 11th and Mass. Previous plans had called for a grocery store to be the ground-floor tenant of a multistory building that also would house

apartments, offices and a below-ground parking garage. Fleming said a similar project could move forward with a different type of tenant for the ground floor.

“We’re not giving up on 11th and Mass. at all,” Fleming said. “But it will work better if we have something other than a grocery store, especially for the parking requirements.”

Lewis has long been interested in the Borders site. The Checkers group unsuccessfully tried to purchase the property from its previous, out-of-state owners.

There has been some question of whether a grocery can locate at the site. There is a land-use restriction filed against the property that prohibits a grocery store in the building. (At one point in time neighbors were concerned about such a high-traffic use.)

But Lewis said the group is committed to working with adjacent property owners to get their permission to remove the restriction.

“I think everybody can come together on this project,” Lewis said.

The former Borders building is 20,000 square feet. Lewis said that is the right size for a new-style type of grocery store. Lewis, though, emphasized that although the store would be considerably smaller than the Checkers at 23rd and Louisiana, the downtown store would be a full-service grocery rather than some type of trendy specialty grocer.

“It would not be a gourmet boutique store,” Lewis said.

“We would still have an emphasis on lowprice, high-quality fresh produce, and the type of items you find at our store today.” (To be clear, the existing Checkers would remain open, too.)

Lewis said the new store would be designed to serve the day-in-dayout needs of residents in and around the downtown area.

group — the Downtown Grocery Committee — that has formed to advocate for a downtown grocery store. It will be interesting to watch the political process on this one. There are some members of the grocery committee that don’t have warm and fuzzy feelings for the Compton and Treanor group.

But I think the committee recognizes they’re the best hope to secure a grocery store for downtown. The committee has sent a letter to city commissioners outlining goals for the project.

The letter includes more than 30 bullet points and gets into details ranging from parking issues to the structure of a lease for the grocery store.

The letter also talks about future public incentives for the project.

The committee says it will support some incentives for a grocery store but not all.

“City incentives should be mostly, if not entirely, limited to one-time investments in public infrastructure and the maintenance thereof,” the committee writes. “Ongoing incentives, such as tax abatements, should be avoided.”

That statement is not real clear, given that the phrase “tax abatement” has become kind of fuzzy. What is more common are tax increment financing districts that provide tax rebates for multiple years to help pay for infrastructure, parking and other such issues. Some consider those a tax abatement, and others don’t.

It is very early in this project, so I didn’t even attempt to ascertain what the developers are thinking about incentives at the moment.

But it will be an issue to watch. The bigger one, though, will be whether neighborhood and development interests can work together to get a business that it appears both sides really want.

FROM LEFT, ISAIAH, DEE AND SOLOMON RADKE are brothers who make up the punk rock band Radkey, which will be performing at 9 p.m. Friday at the Bottleneck.

KEY TO THEIR SUCCESS —————

How the hard-rocking trio of brothers in Radkey got their start in Lawrence

By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

It seems like the boys in Radkey are always on the road.

The three brothers who make up the Kansas Citybased punk band are usually on a series of nonstop tours in the U.S. or overseas.

Thanks to a new album and a move from St. Joseph, Mo., to Kansas City, it doesn’t look like they’ll be slowing down anytime soon.

The rockers are getting national attention, have performed on the British television show “Later with Jools Holland,” and are rubbing elbows with some major players in the scene, including Franz Ferdinand, Rise Against and Jello Biafra.

In the middle of all this, they’re making room on their international tour for a highly anticipated concert set for 9 p.m.

Friday at the Bottleneck.

There’s a reason Radkey, which hasn’t played a show in Lawrence in a couple of years, wanted to come here: This is where they got their start.

In 2012, before their current success, Radkey was playing at Lawrence venues for crowds so small you could count the audience members on one hand. Bassist Isaiah Radke is the lively and chatty one of the group, and he notes that none of this could have happened without those first few shows in Lawrence.

“When we started out, it was hard to get shows.

IF YOU GO Radkey will be performing at 9 p.m. Friday the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St., along with Gnarly Davidson and The People’s Punk Band. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $11 at thebottlenecklive.com.

We tried to get shows in our hometown and we couldn’t. So that was kind of a bummer,” he says.

“We had to play shows in Lawrence. They would take us in, which was cool because we were young but we still wanted to play music. Playing at the Replay Lounge for the first time was really cool, and from that night on we knew we would keep playing Lawrence forever.”

A lasting impression It didn’t take long for word to spread like fire in Lawrence about Isaiah’s physical antics onstage, his brother Dee’s guitar shredding and booming voice, and Solomon’s percussions skills.

Before long, crowds were doubling and tripling. The boys weren’t old enough to even attend concerts at these venues, and suddenly they were the big draw and even started headlining local festivals like Lawrence Field Day Fest.

“People who came to see us reacted, which was really cool,” Isaiah says.

“Even the seven people or whatever the first time,

they were jamming out, and that’s all you want.

They really left an impression on us. I never forgot that.”

The band was just as smitten with Lawrence as the fans were with the brothers. They even grew to adore some local bands, including Stiff Middle Fingers, The Rackatees, The Sluts and the now defunct DoublePlus (Isaiah wore a DoublePlus T-shirt nearly nonstop as they became more popular).

One of DoublePlus’ members went on to found Gnarly Davidson, and Radkey will be teaming up with them and The People’s Punk Band for the big throwdown at the Bottleneck on Friday. All this support has strengthened the punk scene in Lawrence. That kind of foundation is why the boys left their home of nearly 20 years in St. Joseph and made the move to Kansas City. It’s centrally located and helps them take off for tour at the drop of a hat, but it’s also close to all the music they love.

“We needed to go somewhere more happening,” Isaiah admits.

“People appreciate the bands around here a lot.

We thought moving to positive vibes would help and be really fun.”

‘An actual band’ Up until now, Radkey was content releasing a series of EPs, until they realized they needed more to be taken seriously, which is why the band released

Suits CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

On Tuesday, Ahlquist ordered a temporary injunction, preventing state officials from taking any action that would cut off funding for the courts.

Schmidt had asked for that order. In fact, both the petition seeking the injunction and the order granting it were timestamped by the clerk of the court at the exact same time, 8:46 a.m.

Tuesday, only 46 minutes after the courthouse opened for business.

There is nothing in the record that Schmidt’s office released Tuesday indicating Ahlquist heard any testimony or reviewed any evidence before granting the order.

Pedro Irigonegaray, a Topeka attorney representing one of the judges in the lawsuit, and Menendez said that’s a problem because Kansas statutes require that petitions for an injunction either be verified or be accompanied by a sworn affidavit spelling out the facts behind the request, something that Schmidt’s office did not provide.

“The Kansas Atty. Gen. failed to follow Kansas law, in that the petition filed is neither verified nor supported by an affidavit,” Irigonegaray said in an email to reporters Wednesday.

Their statement was just the latest development in a long-running battle between the legislative and judicial branches of state government, a battle that is now threatening to shut down the state judicial system in its entirety.

Although the tension dates back years — at least to the 2005 Kansas Supreme Court school finance decision ordering the Legislature to increase public school funding — it reached a

Forum

Thursday, September 24, 2015

“

The Kansas Atty. Gen. failed to follow Kansas law, in that the petition filed is neither verified nor supported by an affidavit.”

— Pedro Irigonegaray, attorney representing one of the judges crescendo this year when lawmakers inserted a special provision into this year’s judicial budget bill that threatens to cut off funding for the courts.

That provision, known as a “nonseverability clause,” says that all funding for the courts will be made null and void if the courts overturn a 2014 law that changed the way chief judges in the district courts are chosen.

In early September, a judge in Shawnee County did just that, saying the change in selection procedure violated the separation of powers doctrine of the Kansas Constitution.

That put funding for the judicial branch in immediate jeopardy, although the order was immediately put on hold pending appeal to the Kansas Supreme Court. Right after that ruling, however, four district court judges, including Robert Fairchild of Douglas County, filed another suit, seeking to overturn the nonseverability clause as unconstitutional.

Schmidt has appealed the first case to the Kansas Supreme Court. But in a separate action, he filed his own lawsuit in Neosho County seeking to block enforcement of the nonseverability clause, at least until March 15, by which time the Kansas Legislature will have had time to address the issue.

Tuesday morning, Judge Ahlquist granted Schmidt’s request. But his order immediately sparked questions for several reasons, starting with the fact that Schmidt filed his motion in Neosho County, a rural county in the southeast corner of the state.

Most civil suits of that nature involving the state are filed in Shawnee

County District Court in Topeka.

“Topeka has been the epicenter of the fight between the Legislature and the judiciary,” Schmidt’s spokeswoman, Jennifer Rapp, said when asked why Neosho County was chosen. “We thought it better to get a fresh perspective on this issue that affects the entire state.

Neosho County was suitable because it is away from Topeka.”

The order was also peculiar because, according to the time stamps placed on the documents by the clerk of the Neosho County District Court, the injunction was granted at the exact same time that Schmidt’s office filed a motion seeking the injunction, 8:46 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 22.

Additionally, in seeking the injunction, Schmidt made some of the same arguments that the four judges made in their lawsuit seeking to overturn the nonseverability clause.

Among them is the fact that the Kansas Constitution prohibits reducing judges’ salaries during their term in office.

Menendez said that admission by Schmidt’s office should be enough to prove the nonseverability clause is unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, Schmidt’s appeal of the first decision striking down the change in how chief judges are selected is still pending before the Kansas Supreme Court. And the second lawsuit challenging the nonseverability clause of this year’s judicial budget bill is still pending in Shawnee County District Court.

No hearing dates in either of those cases has been set.

Olivera saw Pope John Paul II in Denver as a college student, she said, and it was a “one of a kind” experience.

“You can’t replicate it,” she said. “You can see it on TV, but that’s not the same.”

Not everyone making the trip is Catholic.

Veneski’s roommate and fellow Haskell junior Alec Peehler, a Seneca tribe member from Atlanta, said he usually attends a nondenominational church but was interested in different viewpoints and learning more about Catholicism — while getting to see such an influential leader.

“I just thought it’d be a really neat opportunity,” Peehler said. “The pope doesn’t usually come to America very often.”

Lawrence’s two Catholic churches aren’t planning group trips but do have representatives at the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, which culminates with the pope’s Mass on Sunday. Church representatives said John and Shannon Rasmussen from St. John the Evangelist and Sister Doris Engeman from Corpus Christi would attend.

Father Mike Scully, administrator of the Haskell Catholic Campus Center, said the center was glad to help give the Haskell group an opportunity to connect with the pope.

“What I hope for the young people and our permanent community is that they will grow in their love of Pope Francis and the message he is trying to give the world, but especially the United States,” Scully said.

Man allegedly steals combine, leads police on low-speed chase Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — John Roth figures it was a bullet to the oil filter that killed his old Case IH combine and brought a slow-speed police chase to an otherwise peaceful end.

Officers fired 18 rounds into the farm implement, which had been stolen Tuesday night from a cornfield east of Ellinwood in central Kansas. But not

before the combine rammed two patrol cars, hit a parked pickup truck and damaged power poles as it attempted to elude officers at speeds approaching 20 mph.

“Since 1981 I’ve chased a lot of vehicles, but we’ve never chased a combine,” Barton County Sheriff Brian Bellendir said.

A 37-year-old Ellinwood man was arrested on

suspicion of a number of charges, but no formal charges had been filed as of Wednesday afternoon.

Barton County prosecutor Doug Matthews said he anticipated that would happen soon.

Bellendir said no administrative action would be taken against the officers, who were deemed justified in disabling the farm implement because of the threat it posed.

Taxes

well that people were wondering whether spending money on Just Food was money well spent.”

Just Food started fundraising efforts after Jeremy Farmer, former Lawrence mayor and city commissioner, stepped down as executive director following revelations he failed to pay more than $61,000 in federal and state payroll taxes for the food bank.

An internal investigation and examination of financial records alleges Farmer — in addition to not paying state and federal payroll taxes — made unauthorized payments to himself of more than $52,000 over a two-year period.

Just Food board members asked their attorney to forward the findings to law enforcement officials for possible criminal charges against Farmer.

On Sept. 16, Just Food started a crowdsourcing campaign to fundraise for the tax debt, Henderson said.

Will Katz, vice president of the board of directors, said in an email early Wednesday that since Sept. 16, Just Food had deposited $3,600 in checks and received about $3,500 through the nonprofit’s website.

Just Food used a crowdsourcing site, Crowdrise, through which it had received $18,860 as of Wednesday night. Hen-

derson said the nonprofit’s Crowdrise page would temporarily remain active.

The nonprofit is asking for the community to continue donating to help with the food bank’s everyday operations.

“The next message, now that we’ve reached this amazing, urgent request, is to really refocus people on the basic need to support Just Food,” Thellman said. “Now is the real hard work of getting sustainable pledges to help us do our daily budget and our daily work. We’re getting right to it.”

Just Food Interim Director Elizabeth Keever said the nonprofit has sustained a normal level of operation since Farmer resigned Aug. 10.

In August, Just Food helped feed 3,290 residents in Douglas County, Katz said in an email.

“During this difficult time, one of the things that hasn’t changed is the need in our community,” Keever said.

Leaders of Just Food are organizing a Founder’s Dinner — held annually to recognize the late Ann Weick, who started the organization — for Oct. 1.

Keever said Wednesday the event would now serve as a celebration of the nonprofit paying its tax debt.

“It seems like good timing for all of us to share a toast with our supporters,” she said.

RONALD EUGENE HESKETT, RIGHT, hugs members of his family after jurors on Wednesday found the Eudora man guilty of second-degree murder in the 2014 death of his disabled home-care client, Vance “Van” Moulton, 65.

Murder CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Heskett had claimed since Sept. 22, 2014, that the killing was an assisted suicide. He said Moulton had been persistently asking him to “shoot him” for six months to a year before Moulton’s death.

Heskett testified Tuesday that the missing $13,000 did indeed go to the car and car parts, but that it was as part of a plan with Moulton to “flip” the car and sell it for $25,000.

Heskett, originally charged with first-degree murder, was accused of killing Moulton intentionally and with premeditation. Prosecutor David Melton claimed in his closing arguments that the evidence showed that Moulton did not want to die. “(Moulton) didn’t commit suicide. He wasn’t assisted to commit suicide. He was murdered,” Melton said.

Melton said that even if jurors believed that Moulton asked Heskett to kill him, Heskett physically killing Moulton still constituted murder because suicide is “the deliberate destruction of one’s own life.”

“It’s not suicide if someone asks me to shoot them and I point a gun at them a pull the trigger,” Melton said. “That’s not suicide; that’s murder.”

Further, he questioned why few witnesses besides Heskett testified that they’d thought Moulton was suicidal.

“Mr. Moulton was depressed for a full year and no one noticed except for the defendant,” Melton said.

But Heskett’s attorney, Mike Warner, argued that there was testimony from witnesses who said Moulton mentioned wishing that he were dead. Additionally, Warner reminded jurors that Heskett’s testimony was itself evidence.

“He testified — he did not have to — and he testified about the good, the bad and the ugly,” Warner said. “If you find (Heskett) credible, that’s evidence.”

Warner claimed prosecutors over-charged Heskett’s case. He said that charging Heskett with first-degree murder or, in the alternative, seconddegree murder, left jurors with a difficult decision, as Heskett already admitted to killing Moulton — but not with premeditation or with the motive in the prosecution’s theory of the case.

“If the evidence in this trial does not support the crimes charged, you must find him not guilty,” Warner said. “You may think you can’t do that. It’s not your fault. It’s the way this case was charged.”

Warner argued Tuesday to let jurors have the option of convicting his client of assisted suicide or voluntary manslaughter if they could not come to a unanimous decision on the first- and second-degree murder charges. Douglas County District Judge Peggy Kittel, however, said those charges did not count as lesser-included charges to the first-degree murder charge, so she did not allow them as options to be included in the jury instructions.

At the end of his closing arguments, Warner choked up, telling the jurors to follow the letter of the law.

“When you’re a defendant, it’s an uphill battle and it’s lonely. But Mr. Heskett is a good man and he deserves to be treated with respect to the law,” Warner said. “It’s going to be tough to acquit him, but you must.”

But as Melton wrapped up the trial with the second half of his closing arguments, he disputed the defense’s theory. Melton probed why usual indicators of suicide — like a mental illness diagnosis, leaving a note or dying in a more peaceful manner — were absent from this case.

“If Vance had been thinking about killing himself, why wouldn’t he leave a will behind?”

Melton said. “Look at how he died. He died in a bed with a soiled diaper.

That is not dying with dignity. That’s not dying on his own terms.”

Around three hours into deliberations, jurors submitted a question to the court. They asked the judge: “Do we have to unanimously agree that Ron is not guilty of firstdegree murder, or can we move on to seconddegree murder if we’re deadlocked on first-degree murder?”

The attorneys and the judge discussed the matter outside of the jury’s presence. They agreed the jury could legally consider the alternative charge of second-degree murder if they didn’t all agree on the first, but Kittel said, “We can’t really tell them.” Instead, Kittel told jurors to refer back to their jury instructions for direction. A juror responded, “That’s what we thought.”

One juror, who wished to remain anonymous,

told the Journal-World after the verdict was read that several jurors thought Heskett should have gotten the first-degree murder conviction.

She had no further comment.

Other jurors declined to speak, many with tears in their eyes and holding tissues as they walked from the courthouse.

Last month, prosecutor Eve Kemple said she had offered Heskett a deal to plead guilty to first-degree murder, and in return she would allow Heskett to argue at sentencing for a 25 years to life prison sentence, instead of first-degree murder’s mandatory “Hard 50” — or 50 years to life.

The Hard 50 became mandatory in first-degree murder cases for crimes that happened after July 1, 2014, when the sentencing law changed.

Warner said though his client was not acquitted, he thought the jury’s selection of second-degree murder was “certainly a better outcome” than the original charge and plea offer.

“You could tell the jury had a really difficult time deciding this case,” Warner said.

Reflecting on the verdict, Warner claimed the charging on the case — of first- and second-degree murder — affected the outcome.

“This case was overcharged and we’d communicated that to the DA’s office since the start,” Warner said.

“With only two options given, I think the jury did the best they could trying to figure out a case with a lot of issues.”

Melton and Kemple could not be reached for comment Wednesday after the verdict, but Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said in a news release that the “jury agreed” with the prosecution’s motive theory.

“We never believed that Heskett was trying to help his friend commit suicide,” Branson said.

“Van Moulton was murdered by Ronald Heskett to cover up the fact that he had stolen money and used it to buy a car. The jury agreed.”

Kittel ordered Heskett to stay in jail without bond until his sentencing hearing, which she scheduled for Nov. 6.

Depending on his criminal history, Heskett faces anywhere from about 12 to 54 years in prison.

allows us to go back to focusing on our mission.”

It was announced at a Wednesday evening board meeting that Just Food had hit its target.

Board member Nancy Thellman, a Douglas County commissioner, said there had been an upswing in donations Tuesday and Wednesday.

On Tuesday, the nonprofit reached the $25,000 in community donations needed to receive an additional $25,000 that was pledged by an anonymous donor. Another $5,000 was contributed to the debt Wednesday, allowing Just Food to receive a $5,000 match pledged by Peoples Bank.

In a letter that ran in the Journal-World on Sept.

18, Thellman called on the community to donate, saying the nonprofit — the largest food bank in Douglas County — was facing the possibility of institutional bankruptcy.

Thellman said Wednesday the nonprofit had been “very concerned.”

“While the amount of money needed was not insurmountable, the amount of trust that was needed to go along with that money was in question,” Thellman said. “We knew very

Good model?

The narrowed stretch of Ninth Street may not be a great recommendation for a similar project on Kasold Drive.

P

roponents of the plan to put Kasold Drive on “a diet” point to the “success” of a similar project on Ninth Street between Mississippi Street and Emery Road.

However, not everyone who drives on Ninth Street shares that positive view. About a year ago, the city completed a project to convert that stretch of road just west of downtown from four lanes to three. Instead of two lanes of traffic in each direction, there now is one lane in each direction plus a center turn lane and two bicycle lanes.

The Ninth Street project was touted as an example of “right-sizing” that would safely accommodate both bicyclists and motorists, but is the configuration working?

If the goal was to slow traffic on Ninth Street, that certainly has been successful, especially during morning and afternoon drive times, not to mention anytime a large volume of vehicles is leaving Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium. During peak traffic times, the narrower street configuration causes traffic backups that hinder the safety and convenience of everyone walking or driving in the area.

The result is frustrated motorists who may choose to cut through Old West Lawrence and other neighborhoods to avoid the traffic jam. That subsequently increases traffic and hazards for pedestrians and bicyclists on the neighborhood streets.

The need to merge two lanes of traffic into one at either end of the narrowed Ninth Street also creates a natural opportunity for collisions.

The Kasold Drive plan is similar in many ways to the Ninth Street project, only with the addition of a roundabout at Harvard Road where bicycles and motor vehicle lanes would merge and share a single lane around the roundabout. On Kasold, as they did on Ninth Street, city traffic engineers say they have conducted studies and determined that the narrower street can adequately meet the traffic demand.

It’s impossible to know whether that is true on Kasold, but on Ninth Street, many motorists would beg to differ with that assessment. Rather than serving as an enthusiastic recommendation for “right-sizing,” the narrowing of Ninth Street should raise the public’s concern about the proposed Kasold plan.

Bigoted language no longer coded A quick lesson in political language.

In 1958, Democrat George Wallace, running as a candidate for governor of Alabama and racially moderate enough to be endorsed by the NAACP, was swamped by a strident white supremacist whose campaign played shamelessly to the basest hatreds of the electorate.

Afterward, Wallace complained bitterly to a room full of fellow politicians that the other guy had “out-n---red me.” And he vowed he would never let it happen again.

As history knows, of course, he never did.

But the point here is that, 10 years later, the social and political landscape had changed so dramatically that no serious politician would have ever thought of using such intemperate language so openly. Mind you, they were not above making appeals to base animosities, but the language became benign and opaque, a “dog whistle” pitched for those with ears to hear.

Thus, Nixon had no need to curse unruly militants and longhairs. He simply spoke of “law and order.”

Reagan didn’t call anyone a lazy N-word. He spoke of “welfare queens.” The Bush-

But for some of us, it appears coded language is no longer enough.

“We have a problem in this country,” said a man in the audience last week during a Q-and-A session with GOP frontrunner Donald Trump in New Hampshire.

“It’s called Muslims.” He went on to ask, “When can we get rid of (them)?”

Trump’s flaccid response: “We’re going to be looking at a lot of different things.”

Nor is that even the most appalling recent bit of Islam-

ophobia from the campaign trail. That dishonor goes to Ben Carson, who said Sunday on “Meet the Press” that no Muslim should be president. “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation,” he said. “I absolutely would not agree with that.”

Later, facing a firestorm of criticism, Carson told Sean Hannity of Fox “News” that he would accept a Muslim who rejects Islam “and clearly will swear to place our Constitution above their religion.” Given that “our” Constitution explicitly forbids a religious litmus test for elective office, that hypothetical Muslim should respond to Carson as follows: You first.

In tacitly endorsing bigotry on the one hand and enthusiastically embracing it on the other, Trump and Carson provide redundant proof that they are manifestly unfit for the presidency.

One is sobered, however, by the renewed reminder that such bigotry no longer automatically disqualifies them from it. Indeed, experience suggests that some people will even see it as the sign of authentic truth-telling unencumbered by political correctness.

Make no mistake: Every

adult American who uses language — and particularly, those who do so for a living — has at one point or another been bedeviled by political correctness, by the sometimes persnickety mandate to craft what you say in ways that are fair and respectful to everyone who might hear it. What Carson and Trump represent, however, is not solely about language, but about the ideas language encodes.

Which means it is ultimately about what kind of country we are and want to be.

Land of the free, except for Muslims?

With liberty and justice for all, except for Muslims?

All men are created equal, except for Muslims?

Any little girl might grow up to be president, provided she is not a Muslim?

If it is sad that some of us think that way, it is appalling that prominent aspirants to the nation’s highest office can now think that way openly. It suggests the resurgence of the America George Wallace once knew.

In that America, there was no need of racial and religious double entendres.

In that America, one entendre was enough.

Climate courage

Just Food support

To the editor: NASA just announced that January through August 2015 has the hottest global temperatures on record since 1880, well on the way to eclipsing the 10 hottest years on record, all which have taken place since 1998. These climbing temperatures are reinforced by global measurements that show increasing ocean temperatures, shrinking glacial and ice cap mass, rising ocean levels, ocean acidification, pole-ward migration of species, and increasing severity and frequency of extreme weather events. Physics and chemistry clearly implicates human involvement in these changes.

But there is a glimmer of hope that some of our legislators are beginning to acknowledge this reality. As the pope visits to speak about the moral imperative to address climate change, a group of 10 Republican U.S. representatives have introduced a resolution that acknowledges that climate change is real and would start a dialogue to “create and support economically viable, and broadly supported private and public solutions to study and address the causes and effects of measured changes to our global and regional climates, including mitigation efforts and efforts to balance human activities that have been found to have an impact.”

HR 424 is only a beginning, but it represents a break from our federal legislature ignoring the issue. Everyone should let their representative know that addressing the issue of climate change is important to the future of Kansas and encourage them to consider adding their names to this list of courageous Republicans sponsoring this resolution.

To the editor: I’m pleased to add my support to the Just Food appeal for emergency funds. When a worthy organization is in need, the community must respond.

Yes, mistakes were made. And painful lessons learned. But now it’s time to put this scandal behind us and rally support. I’m in; are you?

Bad plan To the editor: As a resident of the area between Eighth and 14th streets on Kasold for more than 15 years, I wanted to give my opinion on this diet plan. I don’t think it is a good idea for the following reasons: l Many residents in the area are of an age that they probably would not change their form of transportation, so adding bike and walking paths would not benefit them. l Morning and evening traffic loads can be quite heavy and congested most days. Those proposing this plan should come to 10th and Kasold some morning and see how long it can take to get onto the northbound lanes. l Another roundabout? No traffic lights? Maybe, but the current configuration seems fine. I can’t recall the last time I saw an accident there. And the school crossing guards do a fine job of keeping the children safe.

Now, let’s talk about semi trucks.

Ace hardware, Dillons, HyVee, O’Reilly, McDonald’s, Sysco and US Foods are just some that use Kasold as the shortest path to their next destination. Reducing the lanes and adding a roundabout would make them go miles out of their way to deliver goods.

I have to agree with the Journal-

World, it’s not in the majority’s best interest.

Saving money should not be the driving force here. Our leaders have wasted much more on other fanciful projects around town. We don’t need to experiment with traffic flow, only to have it backfire in a few years, and cost even more to put it right again.

Geoffrey Abegg, Lawrence

Liberal arts base To the editor: Sara Shepherd’s article in Heard on the Hill (J-W, Sept. 19) gives information about liberal arts education that could be misunderstood. The article fails to make a clear distinction between college majors (undergraduate level) and graduate fields. (The confusion may come from a news release that the article cites.)

The article lists “majors” that lead to high salaries as “medicine or dentistry, business, law and STEM degrees.”

Please note that medicine, dentistry and law are not undergraduate majors but rather are fields of graduate study.

Business and STEM may be undergraduate or graduate programs. Many people who succeed in these fields at the graduate level might well do so because they got a good liberal arts education at the undergraduate level.

The article closes with a quotation from Kansas University professor ChangHwan Kim: “A liberal arts education is good, but it doesn’t necessarily transform [sic] into a high salary.”

What I say is, “If your goal is to earn a high salary, an undergraduate liberal arts education is a good track into a graduate-level program that leads to high-paying jobs.”

County approves rapid intervention team

TODAY

POP: Probability of Precipitation

WEATHER .

Nine rural fire departments across Douglas County will soon have a county-wide backup team for emergency situations, county commissioners unanimously decided Wednesday at their weekly meeting.

When a structure fire is reported in rural Douglas County, at least three of those nine departments are required to respond to the call, said Chief Dennis Snodgrass of the Clinton Township Fire Department.

However, because departments are over-

whelmingly dependent on volunteer firefighters, it's never certain how many will respond to each call, Snodgrass said. This places firefighters at risk when battling structure fires.

With approval from commissioners, a Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) will now be created, alleviating potentially dangerous situations for firefighters without sacrificing the already-limited manpower.

Each of the nine departments will select at least two firefighters to

create an 18-person team, Snodgrass said.

One-time costs for establishing, training and equipping the RIT are estimated to be under $58,000, said Drew Vincent, an intern to County Administrator Craig Weinaug. Annually recurring costs are estimated to be under $16,000.

“I think the cost is nominal when we compare it to the interest we have in making sure our volunteer firefighters are as safe as possible,” County Commissioner Jim Flory said.

CHINA BRINGS GIFTS: BUSINESS DEALS Extends hand to U.S. via Boeing, Cisco Systems Elizabeth Weise and Bart Jansen USA TODAY

On Chinese President Xi Jinping’s first state visit to the USA, he brought gifts — big-business ones — to help foster relations between the two countries.

Wednesday, Boeing said China will buy 300 Boeing aircraft for $38 billion and build the first aircraft completion plant in that country. Earlier, Inspur, a ChiSEATTLE

nese cloud computing and datacenter company, said it will team with Cisco Systems to sell networking technologies and products in China.

The massive Boeing order includes 190 of the 737 model aircraft and 50 wide-body planes for Chinese airlines and 60 singleaisle planes for leasing companies. China Aviation Supplies, ICBC Financial Leasing and China Development Bank Leasing will purchase the planes.

Hours after the Boeing deal was announced, Xi toured the company’s Everett, Wash., plant where the Dreamliner 787 is built.

Long-haul flights for the 787 and 777-300ER are expanding at a double-digit rate for China,

which has opened 30 routes of at least 3,500 miles since 2013, according to Boeing.

Boeing has projected it could sell China 6,330 planes worth $950 billion during the next 20

years. Nearly three-quarters of the planes will be single-aisle with about 700 wide bodies. Passenger traffic is projected to grow 6.6% per year during that time and air cargo 7%.

“China is obviously a critically important region for Boeing,” said Henry Harteveldt, co-founder of Atmosphere Research Group, a travel and airline research company based in San Francisco.

The market is “hotly contested” between the world’s two largest airplane manufacturers, Boeing and Airbus, the European airplane consortium, Harteveldt said.

Typically, China tries to balance its orders between the companies, said Richard Aboulafia, an

analyst on commercial and military aircraft issues for the Teal Group in Fairfax, Va. “The government likes it for diplomatic reasons,” Aboulafia said. “The airlines like it to keep (the manufacturers) competitive.”

Airbus has had a final assembly plant in Tianjin, China, since 2008. It was expanded in 2014.

Boeing signed an agreement with Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China to build an aircraft completion center in China for Boeing 737s.

Single-aisle planes are important for domestic and regional flights as more low-cost carriers enter the market, according to Boeing.

This will be Boeing’s first nonU.S. plant.

The slate of official events, which kicked off at a White House welcome ceremony that included a crowd of thousands, rows of dignitaries and hint of politics, ended hours later when more than 25,000 people cheered the pope as he arrived to deliver a Mass on the grounds of Catholic University.

In two tours around the streets of Washington, the pope stood in a glass booth mounted on a white Jeep, waving to well-wishers

thronging the sidewalks.

He did not get out of the vehicle on either occasion, but during a 15-minute parade near the White House, guards brought two children from the crowd to him for an embrace.

The center of the city was closed to traffic and heavily fortified by security, but thousands of people pressed to the barricades and cheered the pontiff.

The day began with the pope being greeted by a crowd outside the Vatican Embassy, where he was staying. He traveled to the White House, where he took the podium alongside President Obama before a teeming crowd of politicians, luminaries and ordinary citizens and endorsed Obama’s efforts to cut air pollution and combat climate change. v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Where Pope Francis stands ABORTION, IMMIGRATION, TERRORISM The pope broached the topic of abortion mixed with other wrongs he said the church must stand against. “The innocent victim of abortion, children who die of hunger or from bombings, immigrants who drown in the search for a better tomorrow, the elderly or the sick who are considered a burden, the victims of terrorism ...

— at stake in all of this is the gift of God, of which we are noble stewards but not masters,” Pope Francis said. “It is wrong, then, to look the other way.”

CLIMATE CHANGE “Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. ... It seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation.”

SEX ABUSE Pope Francis discussed the Roman Catholic Church’s sexual abuse scandal, saying that he understands the challenge the U.S. clergy faces in regaining the trust of the faithful: “We have to hope that such crimes will never repeat themselves.”

MOVING FORWARD The pope emphasized keeping the church moving forward to “bring everywhere the reconciling tenderness of God.” “Father Serra had a motto which inspired his life and work, a saying he lived his life by: Siempre adelante! Keep moving forward!

For him, this was the way to continue experiencing the joy of the Gospel. ... Today, like him, may we be able to say: Forward! Let’s keep moving forward!”

Baseball legend Berra, ‘an American original,’ dies at 90 Gabe Lacques

USA TODAY Sports

When a Hall of Fame athlete dies and it’s suggested there will never be another like him or her, some suspension of disbelief is required.

In the case of Yogi Berra, that claim almost certainly is accurate.

Berra died late Tuesday at his New Jersey home, four months after his 90th birthday and nearly 70 years after he first thrust himself into the USA’s collective conscience.

Berra was a 10-time World Se-

ries champion with the New York Yankees, a three-time American League MVP and a 15-time AllStar catcher who earned election to the Hall of Fame in 1972.

Yet Berra’s legacy was forged not on clutch playoff performances but rather a kindness of heart and a subtle wit that spawned dozens of “Yogi-isms” that resonate today.

“Yogi Berra was an American original — a Hall of Famer and humble veteran; prolific jokester and jovial prophet,” President Obama said in a statement. “He epitomized what it meant to be a sportsman and a citizen, with a big heart, competitive spirit, and

a selfless desire to open baseball to everyone.”

Berra’s death provoked an outpouring of remembrances.

Many involved his most legendary of quips, with “It ain’t

over ’til it’s over” the most famous, and perhaps “Nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded” the most relatable.

His sayings often came tailored for the recipient. Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench shared on Twitter a telegram Berra sent him after Bench broke his record for home runs by a catcher. “I always thought the record would stand until it was broken,” Berra wrote on July 16, 1980.

“We’re losing a great man, and I’m losing a great friend,” former Yankees pitcher Ron Guidry said in a statement. “All I know is every time I hear the word ‘baseball,’ I think of Yogi.”

N.Y.’s ‘Traffic Queen’ keeps officials, public in line Popes and presidents present challenge, but she’s up for it Rick Hampson USA TODAY

The cop known as the “Traffic Queen’’ faces her greatest gridlock challenge over the next week — visits by the pope, the president and about 200 foreign leaders leaders here for the United Nations General Assembly, all with police-escorted, street-clogging, mind-bending motorcades.

Since 2004, Lt. Sallie Norris has formulated and executed the police department’s traffic plan for such occasions. She has never missed a presidential visit, of which there have been scores, and in 2008 regularly came to the office at 5 a.m. to help plan for the visit of Pope Benedict XVI. “Traffic isn’t a big deal until you’re the one stuck in it,’’ she says. “Some (cops) say, ‘It’s just traffic.’ But I try to think, ‘What if it was my mother sitting there?’ ” Norris has been on the force 28 years — half her life. She’s essentially a traffic cop on a massive scale; for the pope’s visit, she will determine who drives where and when on Manhattan island, who can park and who gets towed.

Visits by President Obama, Pope Francis and 200 foreign leaders pose traffic hurdles in NYC. minutes before the motorcade rolls — or, more precisely, before Norris thinks it will roll — she gives the order to begin closing down streets.

As soon as the motorcade moves, Norris — pausing briefly, in President Obama’s case, to acknowledge his usual wave — races to the back of the motorcade (30 to 40 vehicles away) and hops in the passenger seat of her own as it slowly accelerates. “Quite a comical sight,” she says.

As the motorcade moves forward, she calls or radios police control posts ahead to close intersections, and posts behind to reopen them, allowing traffic to resume at a safe distance.

The motorcade rolls along city streets at 20 mph. By calibrating the motorcade’s progress, Norris says, she can reduce the time a given intersection is closed from 45 minutes (the average, she says, when she started her job 11 years ago) to about 20 minutes.

She has worked for months selecting and preparing the pope’s route, which is a secret. Although she prepared a series of detailed maps, she says she internalizes the plan, memorizing the route block by block, including the location of each command post and the name of each commander.

“She’s like the conductor of an orchestra,’’ says Peter Donald, the NYPD’s communication director.

Pope, Obama unite on climate v CONTINUED FROM 1B

“Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution,” the pope said in halting English. “Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation. When it comes to the care of our ‘common home,’ we are living at a critical moment of history.”

“Holy Father, you remind us that we have a sacred obligation to protect our planet — God’s magnificent gift to us,” Obama said. “We support your call to all world leaders to support the communities most vulnerable to a changing climate and to come together to preserve our precious world for future generations.”

The issue is a flash point of conflict between Obama and Republicans in Congress, who have warned that Obama’s plans could do lasting economic harm to the nation while accomplishing little of environmental benefit.

Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., said last week that he would not attend the pope’s speech Thursday in Congress because the pontiff chose to focus on climate change instead of issues such as religious freedom or abortion.

Though Congress has battled for weeks over federal funding for Planned Parenthood, the pope made no mention of abortion in

his White House remarks.

At a prayer ceremony at St. Matthew’s Cathedral, the pope did touch on abortion but only briefly, mentioning it among other stands the church must take.

“The innocent victim of abortion, children who die of hunger or from bombings, immigrants who drown in the search for a better tomorrow, the elderly or the sick who are considered a burden, the victims of terrorism, wars, violence and drug trafficking, the environment devastated by man’s predatory relationship with nature — at stake in all of this is the gift of God, of which we are noble stewards but not masters,” Francis said. “It is wrong, then, to look the other way or to remain silent.”

After the White House ceremony, the two leaders held a private meeting in the Oval Office.

Obama gave Francis a sculpture of an ascending dove and a key from the Maryland home of Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first nativeborn American declared a saint.

Obama is the 11th consecutive president to meet with a pope, going back to Dwight Eisenhower’s meeting with Pope John XXIII on Dec. 6, 1959. Francis’ trip is the first papal visit to Washington since 2008. Thousands of guests gathered on the South Lawn of the White House for the papal welcome ceremony.

About 11,000 people had tickets to the event on the White House grounds, and thousands more gathered outside the barriers to watch.

The House and Senate were out of session Wednesday in recognition of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur — noted by the pope in his greeting to about 300 U.S. bishops gathered at St. Matthew’s for the midday prayer service.

At that event, Pope Francis discussed the Catholic Church’s sexual abuse scandal, saying he understands the challenge the U.S. clergy faces in regaining the

trust of the faithful. “We have to hope that such crimes will never repeat themselves,” he said.

The event at St. Matthew’s was closed to the public. Sharon Savinski, a native Washingtonian, was one of 50 lucky parishioners to have tickets for a spot outside.

She said she was thrilled to get a closeup of Francis: “He is just an example of goodness. He brings joy to life.”

Asked what she would say to the pope if she had a chance to meet him, Savinski leaned back and closed her eyes. “I would thank him for his humanity,” she said.

25,000 people gathered at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to watch the pope lead an outdoor Mass to canonize the Spanish missionary priest Junipero Serra.

The pope stood in his “Popemobile” in a motorcade moving across the city and onto the grounds, waving to cheering crowds all along the route. Bells pealed as he arrived, and people ran along the fence to get as close as possible, holding thousands of cameras and smartphones aloft to snap his photo as he passed.

His text for the Mass, released by the Vatican, emphasized keeping the church moving forward, to “bring everywhere the reconciling tenderness of God.” As the pope finished hours of public activity, the city began to prepare for a second day of celebration. Thursday, the pope will deliver the first-ever papal address to a joint session of Congress, then will visit a D.C. church where homeless people will be served lunch by Catholic Charities. The federal government remains open during the pope’s visit, but much of the city was on lockdown, and federal employees in the area were strongly encouraged to work from home or take days off.

former city transportation official, says the NYPD is so good at large-scale traffic control partly because, with the possible exception of Washington, no place else in America has nearly as many important official visitors.

From a traffic control standpoint, the official can be the biggest problem.

There was, for instance, the time Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev ordered his limousine to stop in Times Square so he could get out and shake hands with bystanders. Since his car was about 10th in line, what had been one motorcade suddenly became two.

Some dignitaries are more punctual than others. Norris gives Obama and George W. Bush high marks. President Clinton?

Journalists freed: ‘Historic day in Egypt’ Al Jazeera staffers accused of ties to Muslim Brotherhood John Bacon USA TODAY

Two Al Jazeera journalists whose trials and convictions in Egyptian court drew worldwide rebuke were pardoned and freed Wednesday by the government.

Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy and Egyptian Baher Mohammed, retried and convicted last month of collaborating with the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, were among 100 people freed by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on the eve of the Muslim feast Eid al-Adha. Pardons in

conjunction with the holiday are common in Egypt.

The journalists’ trials drew an international outcry from human rights and free expression advocates. In 2014, Secretary of State John Kerry called their treatment “draconian.” Al Jazeera and the journalists vehemently denied prosecution claims that they “spread (false) rumors harming national security.”

Sisi expressed regret that the journalists were tried.

“Thank you to all the supporters sending us the news, we have heard and are very happy,” an elated Fahmy tweeted Wednesday. “AJ Staff is Free!”

The pardons came a day before Sisi was scheduled to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Sisi said the par-

dons include people “trapped in issues related to the breach of the law on demonstrations and some humanitarian and health cases.”

Egyptian activists Yara Sallam and Sanaa Seif were also pardoned, according to the state-run Middle East News Agency. Presidential spokesman Alaa Youssef said many sick or elderly prisoners were among the 100.

Fahmy and Mohammed, who both worked for Al Jazeera English, were serving three-year sentences. Amal Clooney, lawyer for Fahmy, issued a statement saying the release of the journalists corrects a “long-standing injustice.”

“I am absolutely delighted that Mohamed Fahmy and his colleague Baher Mohammed have been pardoned today,” Clooney said. “It has been a long ordeal,

and we are grateful to President Sisi for exercising his power to pardon the two journalists. This is a historic day in Egypt.”

($39) ticket and sat down.

Showers, clean clothes, the necessary time and privacy for basic hygiene — these things are in short supply along this route.

The less directly said about that the better.

In the seat behind me, at least four kids were piled on top of each other like a batch of newly born sleeping puppies. Tangled.

Cute, I thought.

That turned out to be a spectacular ruse. They kicked and prodded and poked me and my seat mate for most of the journey.

Occasionally, a woman in the aisle opposite let fly a stern word in Arabic while looking completely straight ahead.

Kick. Prod. Poke. Eight hours.

And then suddenly we arrived and there was a woman whimpering and the driver wouldn’t

open the door for a reason not apparent and a man at the back started yelling: “Driver! Driver!

Open door! Open! Driver!”

But when he did and we all streamed out, I lost my bearings — only to be caught in a strong current of people willing themselves across a cornfield to a border crossing that did not look like a border crossing.

Which is when I realized that I had walked illegally into Croatia and there was no turning back and the only way out was a 7-mile hike down an impossibly dark country road.

Fortunately, when the police caught up with me they saw it that way too.

As did the dozens of 4-, 5- and 6-year-olds doing the same walk to my left and right, in front of me and behind.

They wanted out. We all wanted out.

But one woman, upstairs in the back, appeared to be in distress in the bus’ deepest recesses.

She needed to get out.

I don’t know who the man shouting was — husband, friend, concerned stranger — but he clearly understood that.

It would become more obvious when I saw the woman a few minutes later lying on a nearby grassy verge. She was surrounded by aid workers who were elevating her legs. Pale. Floppy. I couldn’t really tell how bad.

I’d seen several versions of this scenario play out since starting my trip on the island of Lesbos, Greece, last week.

It typically involved a woman, often a young mother. Often, it seemed to me, they were incongruously dressed for a southeastern European winter that has not yet arrived.

A few times I wondered if some of these women were genuinely cold in 85-degree heat or were simply putting on as many clothes as they could to avoid carrying them.

Succumbing.

That sounds dramatic and final, but that’s what this particular incident looked like.

Eight hours previously, our bus had left a small Serbian town temporarily transformed into a makeshift market bazaar for migrants looking to transit north.

I had a hard time at first settling on which one to take, but opted for a double-decker headed to Croatia. A new path to Austria via Slovenia had recently opened up there, and I wanted to see how Croatia was handling it. Shambolic was a word I had heard used.

Amnesty International Egypt, which sharply rebuked the trials, said it “welcomes the decision of the release.” Canadian Journalists For Free Expression called it a “great victory” for freedom of expression.

cope (with) this problem effectively,” Tusk said.

Earlier, Slovakia says it will try to block European Union plans to relocate 120,000 migrants and refugees from Greece, Hungary and Italy to other countries under a mandatory quota system, as divisions grow among EU member states over how to manage the crisis.

Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico said his country will try to stop the plans, which were set to be approved by EU leaders Wednesday.

“We will go in two directions: first one, we will file a charge at the (EU) court in Luxembourg. ...

Secondly, we will not implement the (decision) of the interior ministers,” he told reporters, according to The Guardian.

The proposal, approved by EU interior ministers Tuesday, is aimed at taking some of the burden off Greece, Hungary and Italy, where thousands of people from nations including Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan arrive daily.

Migrants and refugees are seen near the Serbian-Croatian border Wednesday. Those traveling on the eve of Eid Al-Adha, a key Islamic holiday, were mostly Muslims.

“We should involve the whole world in the handling of this refugee crisis.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban

The Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia voted against the mandatory relocation quota proposals, with Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka saying it was a “bad decision.”

The rare move to overrule those countries by majority vote was perceived by them as an attack against their sovereignty.

Finland abstained from voting.

EU Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans said of the dissent: “A decision is a decision regardless of the way you voted. The decision is legal, it’s valid, and it binds all member states.”

If a member state doesn’t respect a decision, the EU regulator can start an infringement procedure, which could see the state taken to the EU court.

The United Nations refugee agency said 477,906 people have arrived in Europe by sea this year and has called for the EU to go beyond relocating 120,000 refugees, saying it expects the plan will need to be expanded.

BALTIMORE Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley hasn’t managed to score significant inroads against front-runner Hillary Clinton, but he said rising polls for Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders prove the 2016 contest is wide open — even for himself.

On Wednesday, O’Malley described the first Democratic debate Oct. 13 in Las Vegas as his opening to show that.

“Because the American people have not been allowed yet to hear from the Democratic presidential candidates, they are gravitating to whoever appears to be the best alternative to this year’s inevitable front-runner,” he told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series at his bare-bones campaign headquarters across the street from Baltimore’s Penn Station. “For this summer of anger and discontent, nothing quite says ‘Repudiate the Democratic establishment’ quite like supporting a socialist candidate.”

That’s a reference to Sanders, the Vermont senator who deUSA TODAY Martin O’Malley scribes himself says he isn’t as a Democratic discouraged by socialist. In a napoll numbers. tionwide Bloomberg News poll released Wednesday, Clinton was at 33% among likely Democratic voters.

Biden, who hasn’t announced whether he’ll get in the race, was at 25%, and Sanders was at 24%.

O’Malley trailed far behind at 1%.

The former Baltimore mayor and two-term Maryland governor said he wasn’t discouraged by his low poll standing. Instead, he was encouraged by Clinton’s “continuing descent” and by what he described as growing crowds in Iowa, which holds the opening presidential contest.

O’Malley, a Catholic, has been studying Pope Francis’ encyclical on climate change, which urges a stronger partnership between science and religion to address the environmental crisis.

On one environmental issue, the Keystone XL pipeline, O’Malley mocked Clinton for declaring her opposition only this week.

“God bless her heart,” he said.

“There’s a big difference between leadership and following the polls. I was against the Keystone pipeline and came out against it nearly a year ago. Secretary Clinton has only now come out against it after bobbing and weaving and giving non-answers for most of this campaign. That’s not leadership.”

Brittany Horn, Sarika Jagtiani and Robin Brown WILMINGTON Three objects found hanging from a tree on the University of Delaware’s campus in Newark were not nooses or evidence of a hate crime as first suspected, school officials said Wednesday morning, but remnants of paper lanterns left after an event.

Critics immediately dismissed that conclusion as “a coverup.” University officials had initially condemned the apparent hate crime.

“I just believe UD doesn’t want an uproar on campus,” said Keith James, president of the Voices 4 the Voiceless community advocacy group.

James said he and others do not believe the university’s account and said photos the university released showing paper lanterns on a tree “don’t prove anything.”

Acting University of Delaware President Nancy Targett announced the finding in a statement and released the photos early Wednesday. The university did not say what event used the lanterns, but that it occurred earlier this month.

Targett’s statement urged people to attend, saying “the sensitivity of our campus to this potential issue clearly indicates a need for continuing dialog within our community.”

Voices 4 the Voiceless will be represented at the meeting, James said, because University of Delaware’s quick dismissal of the investigation is “just too inconsistent.” latest numbers show New Mexico saw a 2% statewide enrollment drop from 2013 to 2014.

WIRELESS CARRIERS BOOST CAPACITIES FOR POPE’S VISIT When Pope Francis addresses the 2 million people expected in Philadelphia on Saturday it’s a heavenly bet many will be pulling out their smartphones to immortalize and share the moment with family and friends.

That has led U.S. wireless carriers to work in advance to avoid ungodly strains on their cellular networks. The papal trip is the equivalent of “15 Super Bowls,” said John Donovan of AT&T. The company has invested more than $25 million to prepare its network for the festivities in Philadelphia, New York and Washington, D.C. Verizon Wireless has spent more than $24 million readying its own network in Philly — and $1.6 billion overall since 2014 in the regions the pontiff will visit.

REDMOND, WASH . The head of China’s office of Cyberspace Administration likened the U.S. and China to two men in a boat during a storm.

In an ancient Chinese legend, the men realized that only by ceasing to quarrel and instead working together were they able to stabilize the craft and land safely on dry land, said Lu Wei, director of the Central Leading Group for Internet Security and Informatization, China’s top cyber policy-making body.

“Well, that’s what they started to steal,” he said.

President Obama recently alluded to the possibility of economic sanctions against China should such intellectual property attacks continue. Tuesday, however, White House spokesman Ben Rhodes said the administration wouldn’t impose economic sanctions against China over cyber attacks before President Xi Jinping arrives in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.

Some say sanctions are critical to getting things to change. The Chinese “don’t care about words, they care about actions,” said Richard Bejtlich, a security analyst at the computer-security company FireEye and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Lu reiterated a long-standing Chinese line, that both nations are the victims of cyber hackers and cybercriminals.

The United States’ stance is that China is behind many cyberrelated thefts of commercial trade secrets at U.S. companies.

George Kurtz, CEO of Crowdstrike, an Irvine, Calif.-based computer security company, said his staff can tell with a high degree of certainty when they’re dealing with attackers from China. The hackers work business hours in China’s time zone, take off the week of Chinese New Year and target intellectual property the Chinese are known to be deficient in, he said.

For example, Crowdstrike works with companies in the oil and gas industry. It learned there were three Chinese deficiencies in that realm — seismic technol-

Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn resigned Wednesday as the company grapples with an emissions cheating scandal, though he denied any personal wrongdoing.

“I am shocked by the events of the past few days. Above all, I am stunned that misconduct on such a scale was possible in the Volkswagen Group,” Winterkorn, 68, said in a statement. “I am doing this in the interests of the company even though I am not aware of any wrongdoing on my part.”

Volkswagen’s executive committee, a sub-panel of its full board, said it’s “expecting further personnel consequences in the next days” as its investigation proceeds into how the company installed sophisticated software onto 11 million diesel cars to avoid emissions regulations.

The committee also took the extraordinary step of saying it would submit a criminal complaint about the company’s actions to prosecutors in Germany.

But the panel said Winterkorn, who led Volkswagen since 2007, had nothing to do with the software.

The committee said Volkswagen’s global ascension “is inextricably linked to his name” and credited him “for towering contributions in the past decades and for his willingness to take responsibility in this critical phase for the company.”

Volkswagen’s board is expected to appoint a successor Friday.

The executive committee proposed that the full board establish a special panel that will consult with external advisers to carry out “necessary consequences” for the company.

The emissions scandal has crushed Volkswagen’s stock, spawned government investigations and lawsuits, called the future of diesel vehicles into question and raised questions about Winterkorn’s knowledge of the situation.

“Volkswagen needs a fresh start — also in terms of personnel. I am clearing the way for this fresh start with my resignation,” Winterkorn said. “I have always been driven by my desire to serve

this company, especially our customers and employees. Volkswagen has been, is and will always be my life.”

The company has admitted to rigging 11 million cars with sophisticated software to trick regulators into believing the vehicles were compliant with emissions standards. The company is setting aside $7.3 billion to pay for the expected cost of the scandal, a

figure it acknowledged could change.

Dealers have been ordered to stop selling the vehicles involved in the scandal — which can emit harmful pollutants at rates of up to 40 times U.S. standards — until the problem can be fixed.

Volkswagen is already the subject of several probes, including a criminal investigation in the U.S. It may have exposed itself to accusations of false marketing over years of “clean diesel” advertisements.

The company’s executive committee said it’s “aware that coming to terms with the crisis of trust will be a long-term task that requires a high degree of consistency and thoroughness.”

Carl Tobias, a product liability law professor at the University of Richmond, said Winterkorn’s resignation may have been inevitable. “It did happen on his watch,” Tobias said Wednesday.

To be sure, there’s no proof Winterkorn himself knew about the “defeat device,” which the Environmental Protection Agency disclosed Friday.

In the U.S., the deceptive software affects the 4-cylinder diesel versions of the 2009 to 2015 Jetta, Beetle and Golf; the 2014 and 2015 Passat; and the 2009 to 2015 Audi A3.

After outrage, Turing pharma CEO lying low

Shkreli backtracks on price of Daraprim, takes break from social media Hadley Malcolm and Liz Szabo USA TODAY

The brash CEO of a pharmaceutical company under fire this week for an extreme price increase of one of its drugs apparently is done defending himself to the public — at least for now.

Martin Shkreli, the 32-year-old founder and CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals, took his Twitter ac-

count private Tuesday night after commenting prolifically on social media this week in defense of raising the price of a drug called DaBLOOMBERG raprim by more Shkreli than 5,000%.

The price jumped to $750 per pill, up from $13.50. His account went dark after Shkreli told NBC News and ABC News on Tuesday he would back off the price hike so the drug is more affordable but Turing still makes “a very small profit.”

Turing Pharmaceuticals has not responded to a request for comment. Shkreli did not tell NBC or ABC what the new price would be. Daraprim is used to treat toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease that especially affects people with weakened immune systems, such as those with AIDS. It is considered the leading cause of death attributable to foodborne illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In his most recent tweets still visible through a Google search, Shkreli repeatedly promoted his upcoming media interviews and said that “only 2,000 Americans

take our medicine annually, making it one of the most infrequently used drugs.”

The Daily Beast reported Monday that in response to outrage over Daraprim’s new price, Shkreli had tweeted that it was “a great thing for society” and tweeted lyrics to an Eminem song referencing giving the media the middle finger.

The controversy has spurred presidential candidates to weigh in on the rising cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. Hillary Clinton announced Tuesday a plan to lower the price of prescription drugs, after tweeting on Monday that Daraprim’s price hike is

“outrageous.”

Fellow 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, a senator from Vermont, along with Rep. Elijah Cummings, DMd., sent a letter to Turing Pharmaceuticals on Monday as part of an ongoing investigation into drug price increases by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. They asked the company to respond to a series of questions about sales of the drug.

Turing acquired the rights to Daraprim in August and raised the price. The price hike first made news last week when USA TODAY wrote about it.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The market funk on Wall Street continues, and that has put investors in a funk, too. The stock market is a sinister place these days, with stocks sinking lower seemingly on a daily basis as red arrows dominate the tape.

Since late-August, it’s been all about the negatives: China’s weakening economy. Confusion over coming interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. Capital flight from hard-hit emerging markets. Talk of popping bubbles and the inability of the stock market to shrug off its first 10% correction in four years.

The negativity is palpable. And it manifests itself in all sorts of ways. It takes a toll on investors’ psyches. It is visible in how quick-

Fixing debt-limit issues a priority to avoid closure Q: Is a U.S. government shutdown a worry?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Here we go again.

The U.S. government faces a possible shutdown if Congress fails to pass legistation by the Sept. 30 cutoff. Just six of the needed 12 spending bills to keep the government operating have been passed so far, according to Fitch Ratings.

The last time the government shutdown, starting Oct. 1, 2013, sparked a round of political battles that kept the government closed until Oct. 17, Fitch says.

Hearing that the U.S. government might be nearing a shutdown sounds scary, until you look at the details.

First, the deadline of a shutdown could be pushed back, with short-term measures, until later this year, Fitch says. Lawmakers also get a bit more breathing room this time around since financial backup measures can hold out until mid-November or early December.

Given the state of the global economy, the U.S. remains a bastion of strength even during debt-limit debates. Previous U.S. government debt crises have not injured the U.S. dollar’s standing as a reserve currency, Fitch says.

A longer-term solution is definitely needed to stop the U.S. government’s recurring debt-limit issue. But such an answer is not likely before the 2016 presidential election, Fitch says.

30M Americans tapped retirement savings early for emergencies Jiayue Huang USA TODAY

Americans are getting a little better at avoiding a costly financial faux pas: tapping retirement funds to pay for emergencies.

But Millennials have Baby Boomers beat by far.

The percentage of people using retirement money to cover an unexpected expense in the past year fell from 19% in 2011 to 13%, according to a new survey by Bank rate.com.

Still, that adds up to 30 million Americans.

ALEX RATHS, GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

One in four Americans don’t have an emergency fund, according to Greg McBride of Bankrate.com.

“That’s still a huge number,” Bankrate.com chief financial analyst Greg McBride says. Among 1,004 respondents who took the survey in early September, Millennials were the least likely to withdraw their retirement funds early, at only 8%.

However, those figures grow the closer people get to retirement. The survey found 17% of those ages 50 to 64 dipped into their retirement savings recently in a pinch.

McBride says this is problematic, because “these years are the home stretch in preparing for retirement.”

“Using retirement savings to cover an emergency is a permanent setback to retirement planning,” he says.

He warns that using retirement money early can lead to a tax hit and early withdrawal penalties if you are younger than 59.

McBride says people need to get in the habit of putting part of their income into a designated account for emergencies. Usually you are good to go when your savings can cover six months of living expenses.

Financial planner Reid Abedeen agrees. He says ETFs and index funds are good choices for

emergency funds. He adds “one of the main things that jeopardize retirement savings is medical bills.” Thus, he recommends people get a long-term care plan, such as life insurance.

Instead of investing in ETFs and index funds, financial planner Casey Weade tells his clients to put 5% to 10% of their paychecks into saving accounts. “It is safer to start with,” Weade said.

Unfortunately, fewer people are heeding that saving advice.

Bankrate’s survey says 21 million Americans, or 9%, are not preparing for retirement, up from 7% in 2011.

NEW YORK Juanes was at home in Miami earlier this year when he received an email from his manager “saying I was invited to sing for the pope.”

The Colombian-born singer/ songwriter, who has sold more than 16 million albums around the world and collected 20 Latin Grammy Awards, was skeptical.

“I replied, ‘Is this the real pope?

Is this serious?’ ” When Juanes, 43, learned that the request — to perform for Pope Francis at the Festival of Families this Saturday in Philadelphia — was legit, he was elated.

And not just because Juanes was raised Catholic, or because the event, which also will feature Andrea Bocelli and Aretha Franklin, is so high-profile.

Juanes is an admirer of Francis’ advocacy on behalf of the poor and disenfranchised. The pope has “brought a new direction to the church. ... He understands that we are all different, and that there is a lot of inequality in the world.”

These are enduring concerns for Juanes, arguably as known for

JUANES ANSWERS TO A HIGHER CALLING his own global activism as he is for his music. His Mi Sangre Foundation was created to aid land mine victims in Colombia; he also co-founded Paz Sin Fronteras (Peace Without Borders) to promote harmony and human rights through music and the arts.

On World Humanitarian Day on August, he helped launch the #SHAREHUMANITY campaign at the United Nations.

Before and in between performing several songs, Juanes delivered a speech in which he promoted such values, and he expressed a particular hope “for a more dignified immigration process” in the USA. “The fact is, people want a better life,” Juanes says, chatting in a Manhattan hotel room during his stay. “In the history of the world, it is like this; people are moving all the time. And this country is made of immigrants, so you can’t stop that.”

Juanes’s social consciousness has long been reflected in his songs. Growing up in a time of civil war in Colombia, he im-

The group lasted more than a decade, after which Juanes began a solo career.

“I wrote my first love song after I met my wife,” actress and Latin TV personality Karen Martinez, whom Juanes married in 2004. “On my first solo album, all the lyrics are very dark. The second one is more light, because that’s how I felt when I met her. These days I always think about love. It’s the most important thing.”

McFarland, USA. Juanes has “experimented” with English in his work, he notes, and “will probably do something in English in the future. But I wouldn’t do a whole (album) in English.”

Juanes notes that while he and Martinez speak Spanish all the time to their three children, “they speak English with their friends.

They listen to Spanish music, with us, but also to American acts.”

Asked what he’ll perform for the pope, Juanes says, “I have some songs that talk about family and faith and hope, so maybe one of those.”

There are no aliens or disasters in director Roland Emmerich’s latest movie. Just a civil rights story that deserved to be told.

Stonewall (in theaters Friday) is built around the New York City riots that kicked off June 28, 1969, at Greenwich Village’s Stonewall Inn. The moment would prove pivotal for gay liberation activists four years after the Selma-to-Montgomery march marked a turning point for African-American leaders.

“That was the start of a civil rights movement that led this year to gay marriage. It’s pretty interesting,” says Emmerich, 59, the openly gay filmmaker behind action vehicles such as Independence Day, The Patriot and The Day After Tomorrow. “Over the years, it was always this mythical thing that happened.”

The movie centers on Midwestern kid Danny Winters (Jeremy Irvine), who arrives in Manhattan and has a sexual and political awakening alongside Ray/Ramona (Jonny Beauchamp), Trevor (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and other regulars at the Stonewall Inn, a Mafia-run disco-

PHILIPPE BOSSE

Stonewall is built around the riots that kicked off when police raided Greenwich Village’s Stonewall Inn and beat up patrons. theque. From there, writer Jon Robin Baitz weaves in the history of how police raided the club (it didn’t have a liquor license) and roughed up its patrons, and the kids aggressively fought back against the establishment.

The Gay Liberation Front formed in response, plus hundreds of other gay rights groups.

The Christopher Street Liberation Day assembly a year after the riots, and others in Los Angeles and Chicago to mark the event, were the first gay pride parades.

Stonewall, one of several fall movies with an LGBT theme (along with the upcoming Freeheld and The Danish Girl), has an important story to share with a

broad audience, says Trish Bendix, editor in chief of LGBT popculture site AfterEllen.com. “Just like I think it’s important for not just black people to see Selma.”

A film such as Stonewall creates empathy, she says. “People realize that equality is important for everyone, that police should not be raiding bars because a woman is dressed in men’s clothing or two men are interested in each other. There is a certain amount of humanity that stories like Stonewall are telling.”

Emmerich was a “deep in the closet” 14-year-old in Germany when the riots occurred, too young to know about gay bars.

But he watched TV documenta-

ries about the incident in the 1980s, and when he came to America in the early ’90s, “I was shocked at how little people — especially young gay people — knew about what Stonewall means,” the director says.

There was a good reason why it was an untold tale on screen, he adds: WARREN TODA, EPA “Nobody knows exactly what Roland happened.”

A Emmerich couple of books interviewed people with varying accounts, but there was no film crew recording it and hardly any pictures.

Real-life figures such as transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson (played by Otoja Abit) appear, though Bendix notes the movie has drawn ire in the LGBT community for giving those who were there small roles compared to the fictional characters. Instead, Emmerich focuses on the types of the homeless kids who would have spent all night dancing at Stonewall. That, the director says, “was the linchpin of this story.”

Because of the openness of the Internet, he says, “kids come out earlier and earlier, and their parents throw them out still, like in the ’60s and ’70s.

“They have nobody who will speak for them,” Emmerich adds.

“So I thought, ‘Let’s concentrate on them and tell their story.’ ”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Jayhawks’ offense looking to improve A football team that doesn’t complete downfield passes faces defenses that have the advantage of forever playing as if it’s in the red zone, crowding the short field with bodies.

Kansas, blessed with a terrific running back in Ke’aun Kinner, a pair of talented tight ends (Ben Johnson and Kent Taylor) and a quarterback (Montell Cozart) who makes defenses respect his running ability, has just such an offense.

It can’t stretch a defense.

Putting an accurate touch on down-field passes ranks at the top of Cozart’s shortcomings. Kansas is one of 17 schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision seeking its first pass play of 40 yards or longer.

“We had a chance to Likens make five plays that we missed,” offensive coordinator Rob Likens said of the loss to Memphis. “The first one, to Ben Johnson, he hurried the ball. Then the one to Kent Taylor, he stood in the pocket, stepped up, I thought it was there, and he just overthrew him.”

As always, Likens pointed out that it takes more than the quarterback to make it happen.

“We’ve got young receivers too,” Likens said.

“We’ve got to do everything right all the time for it to look good right now. And when we don’t, it doesn’t look good. That’s what’s happening.”

Kansas has a better chance than on most weeks to look good because its opponent, Rutgers, has so many distractions working against it. Head coach Kyle Flood is in the midst of a three-game suspension. Six players, including three defensive backs, were dismissed in recent weeks, basically for embarrassing themselves and their university.

Rutgers is left with three true freshmen and one redshirt freshman at cornerback on the two-deep chart.

Opportunity has a question, best sung by Mick Jagger, for the Jayhawks: Can’t you hear me knocking?

Likens had hoped he would enjoy watching the game film for Rutgers, 1-2 and coming off a 28-3 loss to Penn State, more than he did. He studied last year’s and this year’s games.

“The kids are young, a little inexperienced in some areas,” Likens said. “They did some things earlier in the year that you’d expect young guys to do. A few mistakes, not many. But they’re really good players.”

Eight of RU’s nine defensive backs on the depth chart are either 6-foot-1 or 6-foot, “with long arms,” Likens added of the four corners. “That always concerns you because they knock passes down. They’re rangy and they’re not afraid to tackle. They have to come in on run support and you would probably be concerned about that with young corners, but you look

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SAFETY TEVIN SHAW TOSSES BACK his dreads before putting on his helmet during the Jayhawks’ loss to South Dakota State on Sept. 5 at Memorial Stadium. Shaw, who hails from Piscataway, New Jersey, is set to head home to face Rutgers on Saturday.

KU’s Shaw to find familiar territory

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Although his focus is almost entirely on preparing for Saturday’s 11 a.m. game at Rutgers and doing everything he can to help the Kansas University football team come away with a victory, KU junior Tevin Shaw will

be facing a win-win scenario this weekend.

See, if the 0-2 Jayhawks win, the New Jersey native will always remember his homecoming as the day he tasted victory and helped snap KU’s 33-game road losing streak.

But even if the Jayhawks lose, and the streak grows to

34, at least Shaw will be able to savor the flavor of a Reuben sandwich from Tastee Subs.

“It’s this place in Edison, New Jersey,” said Shaw of the one food request he made to his mother, Darlene. “It’s a really popular place and they stack them like (6 or 8 inches high), especially the Reubens.”

SMNW to test Lions’ secondary

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

With blowout wins in the first two football games of the season, Lawrence High’s defensive backs survived their first big test of the season when they kept Free State out of the end zone on a 19-play, fourth-quarter

drive for a victory in the City Showdown last week.

On that drive, Free State attempted 12 passes and the Lions allowed just six completions and only two plays longer than 10 yards.

The LHS secondary will be tested again throughout tonight’s game against Shawnee Mission North-

west at 7 p.m. at SM North District Stadium.

“We’ve come a long ways,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said of the secondary.

“I think we gave up over 200 (passing) yards to Blue Valley West. They gave up some yards the other night (against Free State), but they played so hard. That

last drive, that’s just sheer determination on 11 people to keep them out of the end zone.”

The Cougars (1-2) feature a strong passing attack with senior quarterback Ron Kopp and 6-foot-4 senior receiver Gerrit Prince.

Kansas University’s volleyball accomplishments to date — best start (12-0) and top national ranking (No. 15) in school history — looked good on the team’s NCAA Tournament résumé, but in actuality meant little to the Jayhawk players entering Wednesday’s match against Kansas State.

“We are treating this like a whole new season basically. You are talking about a segment of seasons — one ball, one set, one match at a time,” KU junior libero Cassie Wait said after the Jayhawks improved to 1-0 in the Big 12, courtesy of a

hard-fought 25-23, 19-25, 2522, 25-21 victory over the Wildcats that took 2 hours, 2 minutes to complete.

“Just getting your first Big 12 win and working hard to get that was awesome,” the Gardner native added after a match-high 27-digs performance.

Remember, the Jayhawks started the conference slate 0-3 a year ago before rallying to a 10-6 mark and runner-up finish.

“It was really important.

This is a really big deal for us to start off our season 1-0 Big 12,” said sophomore hitter Kelsie Payne, who slugged a career-high 20 Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 5C

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Texas forward lists KU on his final eight assistant Norm Roberts went to see Allen on Wednesday, according to Jayhawkslant.com. l Alkins update: Rawle Alkins, a 6-4, 205-pound senior shooting guard from Word of God Christian Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Wednesday also Tweeted a final list of eight schools.

They are: KU, Kentucky, Indiana, Louisville, North Carolina, N.C. State, UNLV and St. John’s. Rivals.com’s Eric

Bossi said Wednesday that coaches from KU, Kentucky and Louisville have not yet made inhome visits.

Alkins, who is ranked No. 9 nationally in the Class of 2016, eliminated Texas, Arizona and Maryland, according to Zagsblog.com. He is planning on committing to a school in the spring. l Azubuike update: Udoka Azubuike, a 6-10 senior center from Potter’s House Christian in Jacksonville, Florida who

visited KU last weekend, received a visit from KU coaches Self and Roberts on Wednesday, Jayhawkslant.com reported.

He had an in-home visit Tuesday with coaches from Florida, Zagsblog. com reports.

Azubuike’s mentor, Harry Coxsome, told Zagsblog.com that an official visit to Florida is possible.

Coxsome told Zagsblog that the visit to KU, “went well. We definitely enjoyed the visit, we definitely enjoyed the atmo-

sphere their campus provided. We definitely felt good about it.

“It was pretty much their system, how they would use Udoka, they would get him the ball,” Coxsome added of the message of KU coach Self. “They play an inside/out game and he would be the focal point of their offense.”

Azubuike is ranked No. 27 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com. l Young update: KU coach Self on Tuesday

met with Trae Young, a 6-1 junior guard from Norman (Oklahoma) North, who is ranked No. 26 in the Class of 2017.

“We liked that he had a plan for Trae if he went there,” said Young’s dad, former Texas Tech standout Rayford Young in an interview with Zagsblog.

“He recognizes Trae’s ability to play on and off the ball with his shooting and passing ability.”

Young is hearing from KU, Kentucky, Texas, Arizona, TCU, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

Firebirds’ Chen finds more success

Royals slip past Seattle

Basketball notes. ...

Jarrett Allen, a 6-foot-9, 215-pound senior forward from St. Stephens Episcopal School in Austin, Texas, who is ranked No. 20 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, on Wednesday listed his eight finalists on Twitter.

First-year Free State High tennis coach Keith Pipkin could tell junior Andrea Chen was being a little hard on herself when recent tournament outings ended with more losses than victories for the No. 2 singles player.

But Pipkin also noticed Chen continued playing smart, effortful tennis through it all, and showing improvement.

“You can be getting whooped in a match, but every loss, you’re gonna learn more from a loss than you are a win,” the FSHS coach said Wednesday after watching Chen go 3-0 at the Firebirds’ home quadrangular, one day after she suffered setbacks at a stacked St. Thomas Aquinas Invitational.

Though the Tuesday grind tired Chen and some outcomes were “sort of rough,” she considered it a good day of competition. She faced a number of different styles of players and thought the preparation made her home wins the following day a little easier.

“I think it impacted my confidence level for today,” Chen said, “just because I had a few good matches (Tuesday), and even though I lost some of them, you know what you did well against a re-

They’ve averaged nearly 25 points per game against top-ranked opponents Shawnee Mission East and Blue Valley.

“I’m loving it. This is like a cornerback’s game right here,” senior cornerback Ivan Hollins said.

“I heard they were 70/30 pass to run (ratio), so that’s all us in this game.

We just have to keep our hearts up and keep playing the way we’ve been doing.”

The Lions (3-0, ranked No. 3 in Class 6A by kpreps.com) have plenty of experience on the de-

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Lorenzo Cain singled home pinch-runner Paulo Orlando in the 10th inning, and the Kansas City Royals rallied past the Seattle Mariners, 4-3, on Wednesday night to close in on their first division title in 30 years.

The victory reduced the Royals’ magic number to two for clinching the AL Central crown. They can lock it up Thursday night with another victoRichard Gwin/Journal-World Photo ry over Seattle and a Minnesota loss to Cleveland.

The fourth set was tied, 12-12, when KU sophomore Addison Barry of Topeka entered for the first time. The Jayhawks won three straight points off Barry’s serve and nine of 11 points to snag a 21-14 advantage. KU went on to wrap up a 25-21 fourth-set victory.

“Addy is a little firecracker. When we’re not doing so hot, she’ll yell at us on the bench. She’ll get in our faces,” Payne said of the 5-foot-4 defensive specialist who had six digs in her one set played. “When she comes in and does well like that,

things going on. Feet, locking out his knee, his shoulder level, working on that a lot,” Likens said of common mistakes on overthrows. “It’s kind of hard once they get to this level as quarterbacks.

Think about how many times they’ve thrown a football up until you’re 18, 19 years old. If you don’t like the way they do it, trying to change that is a very, very hard deal at this point in time in their career. That’s why recruiting is so important, that you recruit what you want so that you don’t have to change a lot of stuff once they get here.”

Without seeing quarterbacks under game conditions, the Kansas coaches won’t know if they have what they want. It’s still Cozart’s turn, and Saturday’s 11 a.m. kickoff at Rutgers gives the junior from Bishop Miege a fair shot at answering opportunity’s knock.

it brings the whole team up and makes us believe more in ourselves,” Payne added.

Madison Rigdon had 14 kills and Tiana Dockery and Tayler Soucie 11 apiece. Ainise Havili, who had 54 assists, had 13 digs, Anna Church 12 and Dockery and Rigdon 10 each.

“Ainise didn’t have the choices she usually has because we didn’t pass quite as well as we do, but that’s the team on the other side of the net forcing you to do things you don’t want to do,” Bechard said.

Of the close sets and close Big 12 match, Bechard added: “Our team needs to feel that because we’re going to be in that a ton of times. We haven’t played a five-set match yet, but that’s coming.”

Dynamo are three points out for the Western Conference’s final playoff spot. Sporting KC (12-98) lost for the fifth time in seven games.

Bruin scored his 11th goal in the 67th minute.

After a give-and-go with Brad Davis, DaMarcus Beasley dribbled to the baseline and sent a ball

o F

across goal. Tim Melia dove to get a hand on it, but it found Bruin’s feet at the far post. Melia started after missing two games because of an injury.

Oscar Garcia was sent off in the 70th minute after receiving his second yellow card on a rough challenge with Dominic Dwyer.

Thursday, September 24, 2015

Dear Annie: I was severely abused, physically and emotionally, when I was growing up, mostly by my mother and older sister. After many years of therapy, I have turned my life around and finally am able to feel like a worthwhile person.

The trouble is, my older sister continues to be verbally abusive every time we get together, which, fortunately, is not too often. I recently bit the bullet and tried again, getting together with her and my two other sisters. Sure enough, “Betty” took the opportunity to taunt and yell at me, and ended up swinging her fists at me. This resulted in a PTSD episode for me.

I’ve finally decided to have nothing further to do with Betty, but it leaves me with feelings of guilt, since she is my

sister. Am I justified in cutting off our relationship? — Tired of Abuse Dear Tired: Yes. Your abusive mother obviously left Betty with some anger issues of her own, but being related to someone doesn’t mean you have to put up with abuse.

Ever. You were wise to get therapy so that you could improve your life.

It might help to ask your therapist to work on developing coping strategies for situations that

‘Catholic Colbert’ emerges Religion and irreverent comedy don’t always mix. On a day that Pope Francis visits New York City, “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” (10:50 p.m., CBS) welcomes guests not shy about professing their faith, including journalist Maria Shriver, blogger and author Andrew Sullivan, comedian Jim Gaffigan, Archbishop of Miami Thomas Wenski, the YMCA Jerusalem Youth Chorus and the Choir of St. Jean Baptiste.

W h e n Colbert was tapped to replace David Letterman, I wondered what it would be like to have an occasional Sunday school teacher as a network late night host.

It did not take long for the Catholic Colbert to emerge.

His recent interview with Vice President Joe Biden dispensed almost entirely with jokes and focused on the role of religion in facing life’s tragedies. Biden talked of attending Mass, saying the rosary and even cited philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard. Both men opened up about loss and heartache while repeating expressions learned from their mothers.

At times it seemed more like a conversation two men might share in a pub or at a wake than on a TV talk show. It was the most culturally Irish Catholic moment of television I have seen in a very long time.

Colbert would not last long on TV if he turned his show over to sermons or lachrymose conversations about death. But it is interesting to see faith acknowledged in an entertaining way and treated with depth, seriousness and humor.

Aimed at viewers who watch Vin Diesel movies for the dialogue, “The Player” (9 p.m., NBC) is fun in a brain-numbing fashion. Meet Alex Kane (Philip Winchester, “Strike Back”). He’s at the tippy-top of his game as a one-man anti-terror, anti-crime task force. Alerted that a Gulf State oil potentate is checking in to a posh Las Vegas suite, he’s five steps ahead of the bad guys trying to kill the sheik’s family.

Alex jumps off buildings, gets in car chases and shoots down bad guys a dozen at a time with a decided nonchalance.

sons, “Heroes” returns as “Heroes Reborn” (7 p.m., NBC).

Two patients have stories to tell on “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC).

Olivia and Fitz kick back on “Scandal” (8 p.m., ABC).

Rebecca’s absence roils the campus on “How to Get Away With Murder” (9 p.m., ABC).

could be triggers for you.

Overcoming abuse can be an ongoing process.

Dear Annie: My 22-year-old son frequently has his buddies drop over for a visit.

Sometimes I’m a captive audience to their conversations. These guys don’t seem to understand they should show some respect in their conversation due to the age difference between us.

I realize that they frequently use vulgar language when in the company of their peers, but am I out of line asking them to curtail their potty mouths in my presence? — Annoyed Mother Dear Annoyed: Some parents would find it flattering that their children’s friends feel comfortable enough around them to speak freely. But you are right

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Sept. 24: Learning to express frustration and anger at an earlier stage will be important, when you might feel just hurt. Otherwise, these feelings could come out at inappropriate times. If you are single, get to know someone well before really expressing the depth of your feelings. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from a lot of one-on-one time together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Ideas seem to pop up left and right. A work-related matter could demand your attention.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your skills allow you to manage what others can’t. You’ll have your hands full. Tonight: A must appearance.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to someone you care about. You have a lot to share. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have a tendency to allow a partner or loved one to make important decisions. You also tend to overthink a problem.

Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Defer to others. You could feel put off by different people and happenings. Tonight: Go with someone else’s choice.

that it is also disrespectful. It is OK for you to say, “Your language is making me blush. I would appreciate it if you would keep it under control.” Or you can speak to your son and ask him to tell his friends to be more careful in your presence.

But you also do not need to be in the room when they are visiting.

If your son lives with you, he should be able to invite his friends over without his mother listening to the conversation. In fact, their vulgar language may be their way of getting you to leave the room. Unless you are willing to talk to your son, we suggest you absent yourself as much as possible.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not know which way to turn. Don’t take your frustration out on others. Tonight: You’ll witness an emotional reversal.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Allow more impulsiveness to emerge, especially when dealing with a new friend.

Go for a walk. Tonight: Time to plan for the weekend.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay close to home. An older person admires the way you are dealing with a problem.

Tonight: Make it easy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be dealing with more than your fair share.

Don’t worry. You know how to bypass a problem. Tonight: Hang out with a pal.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A power play is likely to occur with someone who is very intellectual yet demanding.

Tonight: Be careful with spending.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be pushing too hard to have someone acknowledge you. Don’t worry so much.

Tonight: Indulge a loved one.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Take your time. You might feel as if someone is pushing you too hard. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.
